Eating, Interrupted

by iHeartPodcasts

Eating is one of the most basic things we do. But behind every meal, your body is carrying out thousands of invisible calculations. Usually, you never think about any of it. But when something goes wrong? You think about it all the time. On Eating, Interrupted, veteran journalist and Crohn's disease patient Cynthia McFadden explores what happens when food stops feeling simple, and starts feeling personal. From chronic conditions, to food allergies, to the latest science on the gut, brain, and immune system, this is a show about all the complicated ways our bodies respond to what we eat. Real stories. Real science. This is Eating, Interrupted.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Such an interesting and approachable show! The host makes complicated health topics easy to understand… and that’s not easy for me. I love how each episode blends real people’s stories with actual insight. I keep learning something new.

YankeeDoodleJeter · Sep 2026

Gut science feels like one of the most exciting frontiers in health right now, and this show is a great way into it. Cynthia McFadden brings real journalistic rigor along with a personal stake in the subject, which makes the episodes feel grounded rather than clinical. It's clear a lot of care went into connecting the science to real stories. Excited to keep learning more for my own health as the series continues!

This podcast answers questions I never knew I had about gut health and digestion. Cynthia is an incredible host who gets to the bottom of a lot of things I’ve been wondering about food allergies & gut microbiome.

My brother has life-threatening food allergies (including peanuts and eggs), and has been to the ER numerous times… He’s had some really scary moments. As someone who has seen first hand what kind of havoc digestive / dietary issues can cause I am really appreciating this podcast so far. I hope there’s an episode on GERD!
